The meta-competence of working in teams is not just required in workplaces. Fundamentally, it is about how the individual finds their place in the group – any kind of group – and how they can contribute to its flourishing. As humans, we are social beings, working in teams teaches us how to be our best selves. It is therefore difficult to break down this competence in its constituencies. There are a lot of candidates. Communication Skills, collaboration, adaptability, flexibility, emotional intelligence, trustworthiness and reliability, leadership skills, organisational and team management skills, cultural intelligence and diversity awareness, conflict management are just some of the available options.
